John Darnielle
“It isn’t really much of a mystery, this occasional need I have to comfort my father. I did something terrible to his son once.”
John Darnielle, Wolf in White Van

Edward Abbey
“What do we know? What do we really know? He licks his dried cracked lips. We know this apodictic rock beneath our feet. That dogmatic sun above our heads. The world of dreams, the agony of love and the foreknowledge of death. That is all we know. And all we need to know? Challenge that statement. I challenge that statement. With what? I don't know.”
Edward Abbey, The Monkey Wrench Gang

J.M. Coetzee
“Because a woman's beauty does not belong to her alone. It is a part of the bounty she brings into the world. She has a duty to share it.”
J.M. Coetzee, Disgrace

Edward Abbey
“My job is to save the fucking wilderness. I don’t know anything else worth saving.”
Edward Abbey, The Monkey Wrench Gang

J.M. Coetzee
“You are going to end up as one of those sad old men who poke around in rubbish bins.”

“I’m going to end up in a hole in the ground... And so are you. So are we all.”
J.M. Coetzee, Disgrace
